Eyesight

Post by Ogre »

I`m thinking of joining the RMR in Edinburgh, but I do wear glasses and was wondering if this would rule me out (I`m within the army eysight limits but can`t seem to find the navy equivalent.) or if not is it a feasable option to wear contact lenses, for example on extended excersise?

Cheers Guys
